The truth is that •or \golden lads'' do themselves re- markably well (to use their own ex- preealon) and think that nothing In tbe world to too good for them. We are always reading In tbe papers allusions to the Inxury and extravagance of wo- men of the smart wo»it Now and then we may come across some refer- ence- to the elaboration of self indul- gence to which the young men of oor wealthy class luxuriate. S6me years since WAV bad a description of the ivardrobe of a New 'Ibrk \dnde.\ it appeared In an American paper, and much of it bad: been communicated by the young' man himself especially Some Information as to the prices of the garments he affected. Not long after a paragraph went the round of ttjs papers about a certain Italian poet and the Utile comforts with which he . loved^ t o snrnwmd himself. They were described as in no way inferior to those of the New Tork young man. It Is not alone in England tbat tbe dandy sorronnda himself with the highest products of civilization and makes a god of his body. She luxury of a woman of fashion pales almost to Insignificance when compared 1 with that for Instance, of her brother in tbe guards or heir to the family estates. The young man who was £6,000 to the bad In consequence ot \the\ bankruptcy sale\ of his furnitore to a case In point He probably lav- ished between £8,000 and £10.000 on the plenishing of the rooms. This Is not much beyond tbe usual with young men of the kind Carpets alone make a large hole in £1,000. Something very special in wall hangings to proportion- ate In cost. Each piece of furniture is a gem i n Its way. Tbe tradesmen know the kind of customer they have to deal witfi and that—for the present—there to plenty of money. They bring forth their richest and rarest and not In vain.; The high ambition of the young man Is to \go one better\ than any other fellow be knows In every detail of bis surroundings. The civilised world i s ransacked in order to provide him with the latest refinements of cost- ly UrxurioDsness in such appointments as bed and bath, glass, china, orna- ments, silver and dexterously shaded IlghtB. IDs florist's yearly bill woold keen two or three poor families. As to dres'sx a single fact may throw some light on the relative values of the young man's wardrobe\ and that of tbe smart woman. Tbe valet of one such ftilded youth having complained to bis master that i n his large and luxurious west end fiat there was no proper ae- eomniGdatJOD. for his clothes, the re- source of renting a second flat equally large for the bousing of the wardrobe was suggested end at once adopted. A small room to devoted to clothes and brushes and certain preparations for the treatment of shoe and kid and boot leather. A larger room Is given to the boots and shoes themselves and their familiar trees, and so on with the mom Important articles of dress. Country clothes have spacious quarters devoted to them. Tney include riding gear, cricket and tennis suits, sporting get- up and traveling kit Here are bis portmanteaus and traveling bags, an Imposing array.
